Mom and Pop or Chain

[benzjamin13]

Just curious to see hom many people shop at mom and pop stores compared to chain store.

I personally will buy fish from a mom and pop store, but everything else I usually buy from a chain because it's cheaper.

3 mom n pops, 2 chains, and of course the internet.

mom and pop because they tend to have healthier fish and i much rather support people i know instead of eveyone who works at walmarts 5 million stores....

We have various Petcos, Petsmarts and local owned stores in and around Omaha. 1/2 of the Petcos suck the other half have awesome fish. 1/2 of the Petsmarts such the other half have awesome fish. And I'd say 3/4 of the local owned stores suck with 1/4 having awesome fish.

I don't think it has anything to do with the name on the door but everything to do with who manages the place.

A little of both. The chain I shop at only has 3 stores, and the other stores are all mom and pop shops.

In a 30 square mile radius of me, there is probably 9 or so chain stores which only house a about 10 fish tanks, and there are also about 13-14 privately owned stores. Each one is different with thier stock, but there are a few poor performances.

i gnerally use Aquarium Adventure. guess their a chain since there 4 others in the country, and their owned by Petland.
